Quarterly Rankings
Jesse Forbes was a contestant on the third season of The Ultimate Fighter reality television show, training under Ken Shamrock in the 205 lb (93 kg) weight class.
Ken Shamrock explained that when Tito Ortiz chose Matt Hamill as his first pick that he would have to pick someone he thought could beat Hamill, and he thought Forbes was that person. While on the show, Forbes was the youngest in the house. Despite Shamrock's belief that Forbes was a force to be reckoned with, he lost his preliminary fight against Noah Inhofer via submission.
He was brought back on the show after Noah Inhofer asked to be sent back home (therefore disqualifying him from the competition) for fear that his girlfriend believed he had cheated on her. Forbes returned with a mohawk and a second chance that put him in Inhofer's semi-finals spot.
Forbes lost again in his just received semi-final spot to Josh Haynes via guillotine choke despite dominating the first round that even Ortiz admitted could have been scored 10-8. When the finale to the show came around Forbes was pitted against Team Ortiz's Matt Hamill. Forbes lost again that night via TKO in the first round.
